Chapter 115"What do you think we can do?" Connor asked.He was in a meeting with Hans and Russo and he knew that the outcome of the meeting would determine whether they would leave the safe house or not. As it stood, Connor had already beefed up security in and around the house and there was no getting in or going out. He couldn't afford to make any mistake especially when it came to Annah and the people he loved. Michael had drawn the first blood and Connor knew that he was prepared to draw many more if he didn't clip his wings on time.There was silence from the men and he knew that they were thinking about it. What had happened in the park was something that none of them expected but it had happened and they needed to live with it. "Gentlemen, I understand that this happened at a very shocking time and we didn't even expect this but I must say that when it comes to Micheal, we shouldn't be surprised about anything he does." Russo said.Hans looked through his tablet, looking for
Chapter 116In the dimly lit, high-tech security room of the safe house, Connor sat behind a massive desk, surrounded by monitors displaying various security feeds from his estate. Hans stood nearby, awaiting Connor's instructions.Connor leaned forward, his fingers steepled in deep thought. "Hans," he said in a hushed tone, "I need to have a meeting with Orlando. It's time we strategize on how to defeat Michael once and for all."Hans nodded, his unwavering loyalty evident in his response. "Of course, sir. I'll make the necessary arrangements. Where would you like to meet with Orlando?"Connor glanced at the monitors, ensuring they were secure before speaking. "We can't risk any eavesdropping or surveillance. Let's use the secure underground bunker this time around because i have a feeling that the warehouse we used the last time might have been compromised. It's the only place where we can be sure our conversation won't be compromised."Hans nodded again, his mind already processing
Chapter 117In the cover of darkness, Connor descended a hidden staircase concealed beneath a seemingly ordinary storage unit on the outskirts of the city. The dimly lit corridor led him to an underground bunker he had meticulously designed for utmost secrecy. It was a place where secrets were shared, alliances formed, and strategies hatched. Tonight, it was the setting for a crucial meeting with Orlando, a trusted confidant and a key player in their mission to take Michael down.The bunker was a stark contrast to the world above. The walls were made of reinforced concrete, and dim fluorescent lights cast a pale, eerie glow across the room. A large wooden table dominated the center, adorned with maps, documents, and a single flickering candle at its center. The air was thick with tension as Connor and Orlando took their seats, their faces shrouded in shadows.Orlando leaned forward, his voice hushed but resolute. "Connor," he began, "I've been digging deeper into Michael's operations,
Chapter 118"Babe." Annah called.She was in the bathroom the next day. It was raining heavily outside and the blend of rain and the brightness of the house made her look all the more beautiful. Later that evening, they were to attend a ball they had been invited to and Connor was not looking forward to it because balls weren't his thing. He preferred to stay at home, alone without any disturbance but now that he was with Annah, he knew that it was something that he couldn't avoid. He had to go whether he liked it or not because if he didn't, Annah would surely force him to go."Yeah," he replied from the room.He was working on his laptop with his reading glasses on, sporting a cup of coffee while hoping that this next deal he was chasing came to fruition. If there was one thing he didn't like, it was having to chase something that wouldn't benefit him which was something he hated. He wasn't about to waste his time dealing in something that wouldn't help him in anyway."Please, come
Chapter 119"That was fun right?" Connor chuckled.He hugged her from behind as they took warmth in the cover sheets, thinking about what they had just done. Left for Annah, she felt so fulfilled, so loved in that moment and she knew that no matter what happened, she would always love this man."Yes, it was." she smiled, turning around to face him.She cupped his cheek, bringing down her lips so that she could kiss him. It was a soft, gentle kiss, one that had his emotions stirring up again and he knew that at this rate, if they were like this, they would never be able to get anything done because her body was on fire and there was absolutely nothing he could do about it."You are so beautiful," he smiled."Thank you,"There was a small blush on her face which made her look all the more beautiful. He couldn't believe that he was blessed to have her with him, blessed to call her his own and for the rest of his life, he knew that he would never leave her side."The chain is still on tho
Chapter 120After the naming of their child, Connor and Annah hosted a small celebratory party in the big backyard of the safehouse where they stayed. Some selected friends and family had gathered to share in their joy, filling the spacious living room with laughter and chatter. The aroma of freshly cooked food wafted through the air as guests indulged in a delicious spread.Connor and Annah were beaming with happiness, taking turns holding their newborn while thanking everyone for joining in their special day. The atmosphere was filled with warmth and love as they recounted the story behind their baby's name and shared their dreams for the future.As the evening progressed, and the sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows across the room, Hans quietly approached Connor, a look of seriousness on his face and the billionaire just knew that something was wrong. Hans leaned in and whispered urgently into Connor's ear, his expression grave."Connor," Hans began in a hushed tone,
Chapter 121"What have we got?" Connor asked.Hans switched on his tablet, connecting it to the large screen in front of them and soon, Connor could see aerial views which just told him that this was the border he had talked about earlier."This is the border towards the town right?" Connor asked.Hans nodded, zooming into a specific location on the map on the wide screen. He wanted to bring out something in particular because he knew that it was something of importance, something that would help them uncover a much larger scale."Yes, it is and Michael had been sighted there." Hans said.Connor didn't know whether to laugh or get angry because he wasn't expecting anything like this at all, especially not on a day that was supposed to be a fun and lively day."And the border leads directly to this safe house." Connor said.He didn't say it as a question so Hans didn't bother to reply but he was only too glad that Connor had caught the gist."We need to act fast because there is all in
Chapter 122Connor walked out of the control room, heading towards the large hall where he knew that the guests would want an answer from him. They would be surprised about everything that was happening because it wasn't everyday you went to a naming ceremony and you had your phone taken from you and was locked inside. He knew he needed to address them and tell them everything that happened and as he climbed down the stairs, he thought about everything he needed to say."Just talk to them truthfully, tell them everything that is really going on." Russo said.Connor knew that he was right but still, he was feeling agitated because he didn't want there to be any problems even though the problems were already arising. Michael had successfully made sure of that. Finally, he got to the hall and seeing the people staring back at him, he couldn't help but think that he was a failure. He had failed in protecting them and now, there was every possibility that a manic killer was on the loose an
